Location : Provides a location for you to type the physical location of the computer for example, the building and office number. Service : There are five service-based options from which to choose. You don't have to configure traps , but doing so will allow the system to send notifications of significant events to an SNMP management system.
To configure the traps section, you will need to add a "community name", which will be sent to an SNMP management system along with the event being reported. The trouble that I have found is when I give it my bulk list it cranks away and none of the nodes are added. It looks like when it fails on one node the subsequent nodes are not added. That is what I'm experiencing. I opened a ticket with support on that.
So I'm stuck manually grabbing say ten nodes My thought was to write a script and identify those nodes in my list that need snmp going The workspace studio version will allow you to enter a comma delimited list and show you all the devices that respond to the list of SNMP credentials.
Now that I'm doing them in batches it seems to work alright. More than , members are here to solve problems, share technology and best practices, and directly contribute to our product development process.

The process of doing this depends on your Linux distribution. However, you can install Linux by entering the following commands:. You can easily end up with thousands of different results.

However, if you have a specific MIB then you can get more detailed information returned back to you from the objects that you want to view.
In the example below the -m command denotes the MIB that is going to be queried. Below is a snmpwalk example command on Linux. As you can see this functions in much the same way walking through the OIDs to pull the relevant system information from the connected devices:.
Specifying a MIB will allow you to see specific information rather than data collected from an entire database of object IDs!
After all the snmpwalk command is there to help you pull SNMP data from devices in your network as efficiently as possible.
